Do newly installed flammable and toxic alarms require a first calibration? What is the basis? The company has newly installed a batch of combustible and toxic gas detectors, all of which are new. Are they subject to inspection?

Further testing is required; generally, the calibration of alarms is not authorized to the manufacturing plants. If the manufacturer does not provide a certificate for mandatory testing, the sample must be sent for testing.

Send it for testing; the principle is the same as that of a pressure gauge

I checked many standards and specifications, but couldn’t find any clear regulations

Mandatory inspection is stipulated by metrological regulations, not by technical specifications. First of all, since these alarms are related to safety, they certainly require mandatory inspection. Second, check whether the manufacturer has the authorization for mandatory inspections, and whether the scope of that authorization includes your area. If included, consult the Technical Supervision Bureau to confirm using the manufacturer’s inspection certificate. If it is not included or there is no authorization, one can only contact the Technical Supervision Bureau to arrange for inspection or come to the site for inspection. In some places, you can obtain a certificate according to the list by simply paying the fee. In some areas, there are also mandatory inspections that are provided free of charge, but the timing is uncertain.
